For the third consecutive year, the Nuggets are going to Los Angeles for a playoff series.
Not downtown this time, though. After facing the Lakers back-to-back years, Denver’s 2025 first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers will feature the first-ever postseason games at Intuit Dome, the NBA’s newest arena that opened this season.
Here is the schedule for the best-of-seven playoff series, including the national television schedule. Altitude Sports will also carry games that aren’t set to be broadcast exclusively on ABC.
Nuggets vs. Clippers series: TV schedule
As the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, the Nuggets will host the first two games of their playoff series against the Clippers, as well as Game 5 and Game 7 if the series goes long.
Curiously, a playoff series featuring superstars such as Nikola Jokic, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden will have at least one game televised on NBA TV, rather than one of the NBA’s more prestigious broadcast partners (ABC and Turner).
